"What the difference between lq, 10bit, NVEnc, q18 and q22?"
The LQ version is a smaller file with fixed bitrate two pass of variable image
quality.
The ones with 10bit and not a Q number are just 2 pass slow encodes. (Joy's
Preference)
The Q22 (CRF22) version is fixed quality of variable size.
The Q18 (CRF18) version is fixed blu-ray quality of variable size.
The NV or NVEnc version is using the Turing Nvenc encoder for either Q22 or 2 pass.
UpRez or AI version is my work upsampling and sharpening and attempts at increasing
detail. UpRez is with passes of traditional filters, which are very slow. AI using
modern inference AI software that takes hundreds of hours to produce a single movie
worth of content.
Note on the AI upsamles. Six months into working with the AI upsamples, we have
found the following: Given a good 1080p source, the 2160p uprez will look very
convincing often beating future official 4K releases. DVD era upsamples are a bit
rougher, going from DVD to 1080p is not convincing, at best looks like a poor 720p
copy. That being said, these upsamples still beat all existing available copies
including competitors using other methods to upsample.
NVidia's Turing Video Encoder is much improved over the previous Pascal versions.
My internal testing at lossless showed this size for same image ratios:
Software x265 3.0 = x1.00 Filesize
NVenc Pascal = x2.34 Filesize
NVenc Turing = x1.16 Filesize
That is for Turing encode to match the quality of the software encode it would need
to be 16% larger.
IF the Q22 version is smaller than the 10bit version, that means that the video
was easy to compress to that quality.
AND in that case the 10bit version is higher quality OR You can just look at my
quality score I give you!
Anyway, try not to be fooled by the dumpers taking credit for our work.
